SUGGESTED SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT FOR ‘FIX THE DEBT’ REPORT:
A new report by the Institute for Policy Studies examines CEOs of public companies who have endorsed the “Fix the Debt” campaign. The report, “Pension Deficit Disorder: The Massive CEO Retirement Funds and Underfunded Worker Pensions at Firms Pushing Social Security Cuts,” finds that these CEOs, while calling for ordinary Americans to take cuts in Social Security and Medicare, are sitting on an average of $9 million each in retirement funds. Most are also running large deficits in their own employees’ pension funds.

David Cote, Honeywell CEO, wants you to accept Social Security cuts, but has $78 mil personal pension. http://htl.li/fBnei

Average Fix the Debt CEO monthly pension check: $65,873. Average Social Security check for retired workers: $1,237. We can’t trust Wall Street CEOs to “Fix the Debt.” Their plan is to cut Social Security and Medicare and give corporations a tax break. That’s not a fair fix. New @Institute for Policy Studies report shows how. http://www.ips-dc.org/reports/pension-deficit-disorder
